She cried after they left cus she was frustrated and had never experienced racism..

If she was from Crenshaw and beat that hos ass that would have been better in your opinion?

Half of the time y'all make me sick.

I understand why she cried...sometimes your adrenaline is so high yet you're having to bottle them and your body just explodes. i've cried during situations where i wasn't sad, i was just SO mad and was helpless to change the situation.

we all know racism is real but when you're literally slapped in the face with it, it's hard not to feel something. that White lady is gonna be a hard luck havin azz hag so whatever.

This is what really p*ssed me off. Like, doesn't Mr. Officer see an issue with this? Coloured folk are just free game to be harassed and stereotyped, huh? Understandably the cop realized he could have been fighting 'real' crime as opposed to appeasing some little old racist white lady, but these same perceptions of minorities are what influence 'real crimes' of violence, racial profiling and UNNECESSARY MURDERS in the first place.

Ugh. I'm annoyed.

Sorry you had to deal with this, but I did chuckle at 'nothing but America's racism at work'

This is what we were trying to get the police officer to understand. He just didn't get why we felt violated. I ended up calling the police non-emergency number to see if it was possible to file a complaint on the first officer because we didn't feel like he handled the call right. He pretty much appeased her and made her feel like she had done the right thing, and didn't address our complaint of harassment with her.

The front desk officer I talked to was very helpful and understanding. He made me feel a little better about why it was handled like it was. What he told me made a lot of sense, but I'm still filing a complaint.

These both make me so flippin angry. I'm glad you handled yourself 'calmly', however - heavens knows you would have been locked up had you dared got angry and began screaming.

You're absolutely right. They wouldn't have hesitated to lock all of us up if any one of us lost control.
